• Support for HP NC532m Dual Port Flex-10 10GbE Multifunction BL-c Adapter

NOTE: The Gigabit Ethernet adapters transmit from the server only at 2000 Mbps, full duplex per port. However, within a Linux environment, the speed can be reduced or "throttled" using a feature available within the Linux operating system; see the white paper at: https://h71028.www7.hp.com/ERC/downloads/4AA1-5513ENW.pdf for more information.

Once the adapter signal reaches the interconnect within the blade enclosure and communicates outside the blade enclosure to the LAN, the blade interconnect uplink types and settings determine the cable media, speed, duplex mode, and auto negotiation mode.

The embedded multifunction NC370i combines standard Gigabit Ethernet networking, TCP/IP offload engine (TOE) acceleration, iSCSI boot, and optional accelerated iSCSI into a single adapter.

• TOE moves the processing of data in the TCP protocol stack from the server CPU to the network card, freeing CPU cycles for other activities. With TOE, network communications are improved, and server efficiency is increased. The NC370i offers TOE for Microsoft® Windows environments.
• The iSCSI network boot (iSCSI boot) allows the BL465c to boot from a remote operating system (OS) image located on a storage area network (SAN) within a Microsoft Windows and Linux environment. The BL465c uses an iSCSI firmware image (iSCSI boot option ROM) making the remote disk drive appear as a local, bootable C: drive. The BL465c is configured to connect to and boot from the iSCSI target disk on the network and download the OS image from the iSCSI target disk. The iSCSI boot option ROM is supplied by HP at no cost. Additionally, the HP iSCSI boot solution includes scripts to significantly simplify the installation process.

Two optional Fibre Channel HBAs are supported by the HP ProLiant BL465c. Both mezzanine circuit boards connect directly to the server blade system board. These Fibre Channel HBAs are available via option kits and must be ordered separately.

Two option kits

DIMM installation guidelines:

1. All DIMMs must be PC2-5300 Registered DDR2 DIMMs (667 MHz).
2. Both DIMM slots in a memory bank must be populated.
3. Both DIMMs in a memory bank must be identical.
4. Processor 1 memory bank A must always be populated.
5. DIMM banks are active only when the corresponding processor socket is populated.
6. If installing only one bank on a processor, populate the bank physically farthest from the processor.
7. If mixing DIMM sizes on the same processor, the largest capacity DIMMs must be populated in the bank physically farthest from the processor. The smallest capacity DIMMs must be populated in the bank physically nearest the processor.
8. For optimal performance in most applications, populate the first memory bank for every populated processor socket.
